Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote:But don't listen to me, here it is verbatim from the article I've posted:


""Right now we have committed to probably more than three feet (one meter) of sea level rise, just based on the warming we have had so far," said Steve Nerem of the University of Colorado, Boulder and leader of NASA's sea level rise team.


"It will very likely get worse in the future," he told reporters.


"The biggest uncertainty is predicting how quickly the polar ice sheets will melt."


Melting faster


The last major predictions were made in 2013 by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).


Based on a consensus of international researchers, the IPCC said global sea levels would likely rise from one to three feet by the end of the century.


Nerem said the latest satellite data suggests the higher end of that range is more likely."
 

Note the weasel words I highlighted. How you get "guaranteed" from that is beyond me.


 

And the latest satellite data doesn't show any increase in the rate. NONE! Here is the figure from Steve Nerem himself:

"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
